the next knuckle will represent February with

This examination of officers upon their
SEX olarly attachments was applied to the
troops during the war of the rebellion. 1t
was undertaken at Washington, and prov
ed to be dire failure. Every drunken,
worthless scoundreI who had been well
brought up and well taught, could pass the
examination, and was appointed as an
officer, especially over the colored troops
in Virginia. But did service to my
country when got rid of these incubi by

THE great cry now is that amember OF
Congress must rot recommend to the Presi-
dent any person from his Congressional
district for government office. This is at
variance with the will of the people. BY
their votes they elect members to represent
them at Washington in every respect, and
the men so elected are certainly the proper
persons to suggest government appointees
from their own districts 1t Is their duty
to tell the President of these people and
their claims and fitness and 1t is his duty
to listen. The mutton chep whiskered

Butler, and he brought his fist down on the
table beside him with such force as to rat.

Suppose" said he, that this absurd
system had been in effect at the time OF
the breaking out of the rebellion, and no.
body turned out for a year, except those
who were appointed after civil service
examination? What would have beco m
of us? Under the rules nobody could have
been turned out of Office under year, and
I'd like to know what we would
have done with the rebels. All
the offices were filed with them. l
remember that there were four photographs
turned off of the plan of fight ct the battle
of Bull Run, ond one of these got into the
hands of the commander of the rebel forces.
That's the reason the latter had q picnic
in that engagement. BY the time civil serv-
ice rules could have been put into working
order in this national dilemma, we would
all have been blown to Jericho.
There is but one way" said Gen. Butler
in conclusion, ''of carrying on represent
alive government, and that is that the gov
eminent must be in the hands of the friends
of the admin fstratiop."

Some Interesting Information About the
Famous War Relic.
"Old Abe" the whilom war eagle of the
8th regiment, Wisconsin volunteers, is ons
of the attractions in the collection OF war
relics now on exhibition at the Exposition
building. He is only stuffed and does
not look as big as when he accompan-
led the eagle regiment on southern battle
fields. A wooden tablet attached to his
perch bears this inscription: "Hatchsd
February, 1861; died March 20, 1881
Z. H. Webster, of Greenbusch, Sheboy-
gan County, lieutenant OF Company B, OF
the Sth regiment, gave Milwaukee Senti-
mel reporter some information about the
old bird. "When our company came into
camp at Madison we were told by the men
of Company G, who brought the eagle
with them from Eau Claire, that he was
taken from his nest by an Indian and pre-
sented to them by him. l have read a
more romantic tale of his capture sioce
then, but this story is u1doubt-
eddy correct, as nobody then thought
of inventing the pleasant fctions
about the famous eagle which
have since become 50 numerous. Oar reg
iment broke camp at Camp Randall, in
compliance with an order to go to Mis-
souri,, and while marching through st.
Louis the eagle broke its string and few
away. We all thought that, that was the
last we would see OF him, and Col. Murphy
offered to give $25 to anyone who would
bring him back. You knoz Murphy,
don't your He left our regiment and was
put in charge OF a brigade, and surren-
dered to the rebels at the battle of Holly
Springs. But am depressing.
while in Camp Curtis at ST. Louis one
of the boys pointed up into the air at a
large bird which was approaching as and
said that he'd bet that 1t was old Abe
We fixed perch on a camp chest, and
very soon the eagle sailed down and took
his place on the perch. He had been fish
ing, and was wet as q rat. We put him on
a string again and sometimes let him go
as he was always sure of returning. Occs-
sioDally we let him loose during an en-
gaeement, aud then he would fly about
overhead or sit quietly on his perch. be-
lieve the confederates brought down some
of his feathers once, and after that be al
ways screamed and acted mad when a
fight was going on. General Pr1ce, of the
confederates, once said he would rather
capture the eagle then the whole regiment.
"'0ld Abe was a nuisance in some re.
spects. He was thieving bird, and when
the rations were distributed had to be
watched or he would steal the best morsels
away. He liked beef and all kinds of meat.
when there was scarcely any for the boys.
He was up to all sorts of mischief, and
wounded some of the boys who had been
spared by rebel bullets. They would
plague him and he would peg at them,
frequently drawing the blood"
After the regiment returned from the
war "Old Abe" was well cared for at Msd.
ison until his death, which ensued from
natural causes.

Let Them Explain,
Frankfort Crescent.

An attempt is made to manufacture
political capital over the depleted CON-
dition of the State treasury. There is no
mystery about it at all. First, in the CON-
pletion and finishing of the new State
House; in the construction of the new
insane asylums and other legitimate ex-
penses there has been heavy drain upon
the State treasury. Then, the last Legis-
lature failed to pass the revenue bills,
which bills were duly passed by the
publican House. II the State treasury Is
empty no one is more to blame than the
Republican House of 1887. Then, again,
for six months or more, the management
of the State finances has been in the hands
of the Republican Auditor and Treasurer of
state. These officials have had control of
the money of the State. II the treasury is
empty let them explain.

Oh, sweet and fafri oh, rich and rare!
That Gay so long ago,
The autumn sunshine everywhere,
The weather all sglow.
The ferns were clad In cloth of gold,
The waves sang on the shore;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing
Forever, evermoTe.
oh. fit and few oh, tried and tlua!
The friends who met hat day:
Each one the others spirit knew,
And so in earnest play.
The hours flew past, until at last,
The twilight kissed the shore.
He said: such days shall come sgain,
Forever, evernofe."
One day again no cloud OF pain
A shadow DER us cast;
And yet we stroYe in vain, in vain
To conjure up the past.
Like bat unlike, the san that shole,
Toe waves that beat the shore.
The words we said the songs we SUM-,
Like, unlike, eYermore.
For ghosts ndseen crept in between;
And when our songs flowed free,
Sang discords in an UNDERGONE,
And marTed our harmony.
"Ihe past is ours, not yours" they said;
The waves that beat the shore,
Though like the same, are not the same,
On, never, nevermore."
